Caterpillar Chicken Buns (In pressure cooker)- Iftar Special !!

Have to admit...This is something really interesting from which i have prepared the recent days...It looks really beautiful & smells heavenly too...Its an eye-catching snack, something which you really want for an Iftar party as well....When you give a munch, a soft texture of bun filled with spicy & yummy chicken masala...Isn't that just what you want !!

I never used to try such dishes, since I don't use an oven. It just remained as a wish. This Ramadan, took a risk & prepared this in my pressure cooker & it was a grand success...Any doubts, you can ask me...The recipe courtesy goes Saneeba Rafiq of Sisters Cuisine... A big thanks to her for this wonderful mouth watering recipe...I made for only half the quantity mentioned below & made 5 buns of the below size....My very first attempt with buns...Atlast !!!!!

I gave a try to a different shape too...I think its call braided...Couldn't take its preparation pics as I was in hush bush before the Iftar...

Preparation (of dough)

~Dissolve yeast in 2 tbsp warm water along with 1/2 tbsp sugar & 1/2 tbsp maida.~Keep aside for 10 minutes until when it doubles.~Take 1 cup maida in a bowl & make a well in the centre.~Pour milk, butter, salt, sugar & mix well.~Add the beaten egg along with the yeast mix.~Add the rest of the maida & combine well into a soft dough. (can use little milk/maida if required for kneading)~Knead well for 5 minutes & keep aside for 1 or 2 hours.

Preparations (of buns)

~ Knead the dough once more & make it soft.~Make balls out of it & roll it out.~Keep the filling on one side (try adding more filling) & close it. (keeping some space below as shown in the figure below)~Make cuts in the below space with a knife.~Pull the cuts towards the covered dough & bend the whole bun towards you from the side to get the shape.

~Apply egg wash on all sides of the bun. ~Keep inside a tin inside a pressure cooker for 20 minutes in low flame without weight on.~Or bake for 10 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven.~Do not keep them stuck to each other...Keep a small space as the bun will rise. ~Until you can see the bun turining slighly brown.

va'salam...keep a tin lid (steel/aluminium) inside the pressure cooker. Then get ready a tin dat fits inside d cooker (steel/aluminium). If reqd u can cover dat tin wid aluminium foil. Then place the prepared bun inside the tin n den keep the tin inside d cooker over the tin lid inside...Hope i have not confused u...Now close the pressure cooker...Do not keep the weight on top.Cook in low flame.Any more doubts...u r free to ask...

Wow! I'm newly married with little knowledge in cooking and this recipe seems quite simple to me - yet it's very grand too. My question is, how exactly do you cook the buns in a pressure cooker? How much water to add to the pressure cooker before placing the buns in a tin? Please help as I would like to try this soon this Ramadhan to impress my husband.

I definitely enjoying every little bit of it. It is a great website and nice share. I want to thank you. Good job! You guys do a great blog, and have some great contents. Keep up the good work. air fryer
